CAMP4’s funding influx paves the way for tapping regulatory RNA to treat urea cycle disorders

Pharmaceutical Technology

However, in patients with urea cycle disorders, genetic defects result in inadequate amounts of the enzymes needed to convert nitrogen into urea. Ultragenyx uses adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) gene therapy to induce stable OTC gene expression. Typically, nitrogen in the blood is removed in the form of urea.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”.

Using CRISPR to Edit the Epigenome Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

The Pharma Data

STP705 is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy that leverages a dual-targeted inhibitory property and polypeptide nanoparticle (PNP)-enhanced delivery to knock down both TGF-beta1 and COX-2 gene expression. RESTORE-1 is a Phase II trial of an intracerebral AAV-based gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
